This black-and-white aerial photograph depicts a densely built urban area with a tightly packed street grid. Rows of residential houses and larger commercial or industrial buildings fill the scene. Several diagonal streets cross the grid, creating irregular intersections. A prominent circular plaza with a central monument or fountain is visible in the lower right quadrant, surrounded by radiating streets. Larger rectangular buildings and open lots appear scattered throughout, suggesting mixed land use. The bottom right corner is marked “Fairchild Aerial Surveys Inc. N.Y.C.,” and the number “8226-110” is written at the top right.
